The world's highest fountain of water is located, appropriately enough, in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The fountain rises to a heig

ht of 560 ft. (a) What is the initial speed of the water? (b) How long does it take for the water to reach the top of the fountain?

A. The relationship between the height and initial velocity is given in the equation,
                          d = ((Vi)² - (Vf)²) / 2g
Vf for this case is zero and g is equal to 32.2 ft/s². Substituting,
                            560 ft = (Vi)² / (2)(32.2)
The value of Vi is equal to 189.91 ft/s.
b. For the time, the equation is,
                            d = 0.5gt²
Substituting,
                           560 ft = 0.5(32.2)(t²)
The value of t is 5.90 s.

(a) The initial speed of the water is 190 ft/s

(b) It takes 5.90 s for the water to reach the top of the fountain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

h = 560 ft

g = 32.2 ft/s²

<u>Unknown:</u>

u = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At the maximum height, the speed is 0 ft/s

<h2>Question a:</h2>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0^2 = u^2 - 2 \times 32.2 \times 560

u^2 = 36064

u = \sqrt{36064}

\large {\boxed {u \approx 190 ~ ft/s} }

<h2>Question b:</h2>

v = u - gt

0 = \sqrt{36064} - 32.2t

t = \sqrt{36064} \div 32.2

\large {\boxed {t \approx 5.90 ~ s} }

In the diagrams, the solid green line represents Earth’s rotational axis and the dashed red line represents the magnetic field a
katovenus [111]

Explanation:

Though the diagram that is mentioned in the questions is not given. I have given general information related to the Earth's magnetic axis with respect to geographic/rotational axis.

Axis is an imaginary line around which a body rotates. The rotational axis of the Earth enters into and exits from the Earth at two points namely: North and South pole.

We know that the Earth behaves like a huge bar magnet so just like the bar magnet it must also have magnetic axis and poles. Earth has north magnetic pole and south magnetic pole. It has a strong magnetic field as well known as magnetosphere.

The interesting point about magnetic axis is that it is not same as rotational axis. In fact it makes an angle with the rotational axis. This is known as magnetic inclination. This inclination varies at different points on Earth.

Another interesting point is that the geographic and magnetic poles are opposite. That means near the geographic north pole we have the magnetic south pole and vice versa.

6. Draw a velocity-time graph for an object originally traveling at -3 m/s. The object
faltersainse [42]

See the graph in attachment

Explanation:

In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.

In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is

v_0 = -3 m/s

and it is negative, so below the x-axis.

Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).

After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.

telo118 [61]
Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it  true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.
